Really nice spot for Znojmo and Vienna, cars are slow from the roundabout, can see you clearly and almost everybody goes in this direction. Even though it didn't feel really safe a truck stopped for me after just few minutes. But for a passenger car, the spot is large enough.

I have been there for multiple times. It right after main parkinglot. Lot of Polish people going home. Probably best spot, if you wanna get from Adršpach. You can go by train if you would not be lucky. You can see it comming.

Decent spot, I don't think you can do much better in the Poland direction.

Good spot towards Harachov, all of the people driving here go there, and there is a place to stop.

Not a bad spot towards the Desná and Harachov border crossing. Cars don't go that slowly, but they can see you, and there is a place to stop.

I needed to get out of Liberec in the direction of Jablonec / Poland. I asked around here, and one guy brought me to a much better spot near Jablonec.

Shittiest spot towards Jablonec ever. After a few hours, I gave up and walked to Lidl on Vratislavická Street, where I asked around and got a ride much more quickly.

Maybe I got lucky, but I got a ride all the way to Liberec. To me, this is a good spot for Liberec direction.

Semi-decent spot. If going in the Liberec direction, I suggest you aim for a smaller town and find a better spot, but not a bad one either.

Not the greatest one, but I hitched from here multiple times and worked every time. Once, a guy shouted for me from a nearby gas station, because he stopped there, so that might be a possibility as well.

Nice one, I hitched from here multiple times and never waited for long. Sing advised or just go by thumb to Klášterec (next town), and there are cars going slower.

good place, easily accessible by public transport. A truck driver from Turkey picked me up after 30 minutes to the border, after the border a couple from the Czech Republic.

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

Super easy spot heading west! Cars slow down as they approach the town, and it seems like many are just passing through, heading either west or south. I managed to get a ride all the way to the Czech Republic (hey, Leon 👋). A lot of cars, though!

If you're trying to cross the border into the Czech republic then this is the place to be. Good traffic and it's possible for the drivers to stop just before entering the on ramp. Of you're patient then it should be possible to get a ride to Prague from here.

Impossible trip to the Czech Republic, 4 hours and nothing. it's better to choose a different place

We're extremely lucky, the first car took us until Nordhausen (we're heading to Harz) but generally very good spot for going to Germany. All Germans stops here because the gas is cheaper in the Czech Republic and it's the last gas station before Germany.

I was left here by driver who took me from Krakow (late Sunday) and just after I left the car and asked the first I noticed there (many stop for gas, to rest etc.) I had a lift to connect A1 (I needed to go the the Czech Republic border).

Over one year later, I was here again, and have to take back what I said before. The place where I hitchhiked last year is not a good spot. This time I hitchhiked right next Mercur and ofter 20 mins got a lift to the highway. Unless it is Friday and lots of Poles and Czechs are going home the chance someone will take you to the Czech Republic is low, so hitchhike without a sign, and get as far as you can ;)

Friday morning only few cars were going to the Czech Republic. Waiting 2 hours.
(But good place for spent time - in fuel station is unlimited free wifi and electricity with tables)

not really sure if this was the spot, but most probably it was, anyway, here should be a bus statio which is a great spot towards the Czech Republic, cars stop at the lights and have enough space to pull over. I was there about 30 min and then a guy took me about 20-30 km further.

Decent traffic going to the Czech republic and further. I got a ride with a Slovaki on her way home.

Probably the best place of Grafenau, direction Freyung. There is almost nobody going to the Czech Republic though.

2 of us waited for about 2 hours to get a lift towards the Czech Republic- we got very lucky. It was not a good spot, not much traffic, not many cars going that way. (It was Thursday evening, 5-7pm)

From the city center, walk trough the Rybnicka street. You can stay in the front of BP petrol station. A lot of local traffic, but some of the cars are going to the A4 (Katowice, Krakw or Opole, Wrocaw) or southwards to the Rybnik, Bohumn, Ostrava and farther to the Czech republic)
